Build Slicer3 on Dell Laptop Inspiron 1501 (Fedora Core 6)

If Fedora Core 6 has been installed on Dell Laptop Inspiron 1501, follow these steps to build Slicer3 on it:

Install Tcl/Tk

• Download free Tcl/Tk binary for linux from here:

http://downloads.akctivestate.com/ActiveTcl/Linux/8.4.14/ActiveTcl8.4.14.0.272572-linux-ix86.tar.gz

• Login as root and install Tcl/Tk

Get Slicer3 source code

 svn co http://www.na-mic.org/svn/Slicer3/trunk Slicer3

Configure build if opentracker is required (e.g. for IGT Demo module)

With SPLOT built, locate the OpenTracker section in Slicer3/CMakeLists.txt and perform the following changes:

• Change this line

 OPTION(USE_OPENTRACKER "Need OpenTr acker lib to build IGT Demo module." OFF)

to

 OPTION(USE_OPENTRACKER "Need OpenTracker lib to build IGT Demo module." ON)

• Find this part

 FIND_LIBRARY(OPENTRACKER_LIB 
              NAMES opentrackerd opentracker
              PATHS ""
              )

then change it to

 FIND_LIBRARY(OPENTRACKER_LIB 
              NAMES opentrackerd opentracker
              PATHS "The directory contains the opentracker lib" # e.g. /home/surg/projects/splot-build/opentracker/lib
              )

• Find this part

 FIND_PATH(OPENTRACKER_INC_DIR "OpenTracker/OpenTracker.h"
          "" 
          )

then change it to

 FIND_PATH(OPENTRACKER_INC_DIR "OpenTracker/OpenTracker.h" 
          "The opentracker include directory" # e.g. /home/surg/projects/splot-build/opentracker/include
          )
